Don Walsh (born 2 November 1931) is an American oceanographer, explorer and marine policy specialist and Rolex ambassador. He and Jacques Piccard were aboard the bathyscaphe Trieste when it made a record maximum descent into the Mariana Trench on 23 January 1960, the deepest point of the world’s ocean. The depth was measured at 35,813 feet (10,916 m). It was simply amazing to listen to all his exciting stories, with his almost 80 year old he’s still exploring around the world fulltime, BIG respect!!

A absolute wonderful person, very dedicated to his work with the right touch of humour. It was for me a big honor meeting Mr. Walsh, a giant in Rolex history and so important for our heritage we all here about!
